Nasdaq-listed DeFi Technologies Inc. has introduced a new index designed to capture how regulated capital is deployed across the digital asset market.

Known as the DEFT Valour Investment Opportunity (DVIO) Index, the benchmark tracks real investor flows across Valour’s ETP ecosystem. The company says the index offers insights into sentiment and capital rotation that surpass traditional crypto data sources, such as spot prices or on-chain metrics. By grounding analysis in regulated capital allocation, the index aims to provide a reliable signal of institutional positioning.

“ Crypto markets are rich in data but poor in signal,” said Andrew Forson, president of DeFi Technologies and chief growth officer at Valour. “Capital flows have long been a leading indicator in traditional markets. With the DVIO Index, we apply that same discipline to digital assets.”

Valour’s platform spans 102 ETPs covering 74 digital assets, utilizing uniform pricing, transparent fees, and consistent risk frameworks. This structure is intended to eliminate distortions common in fragmented crypto exchanges, ensuring that observed flows reflect investor conviction rather than execution constraints.

Methodology and Intelligence

The DVIO Index tracks the top 50 crypto assets by assets under management and flows, with weekly updates to capture evolving investor behavior. Its rules-based methodology is designed to balance stability with adaptability, filtering out short-term noise while highlighting meaningful shifts in capital allocation.

Beyond serving as a reference point, the index generates actionable intelligence through tools such as a flow sentiment barometer, an altcoin barometer, and a watchlist that surfaces early-stage momentum before assets enter the top 50.

DeFi Technologies plans to monetize the DVIO Index through subscription-based insights and monthly reports. The company is also developing an analytics terminal for deeper data access. Licensing opportunities for asset managers and financial institutions are also planned, which would enable the creation of index-linked products.

The DVIO Index is built on an integrated data architecture leveraging Valour’s trading and pricing data alongside Stillman Digital. This foundation supports advanced analytics and AI-driven insights into the interplay between decentralized finance, traditional markets, and macroeconomic trends.
